Four months ago Allan Affeldt, owner of the La Posada hotel in Winslow, ordered a Tesla supercharger for the La Posada parking lot “because it’s the right thing to do,” he says.

A Tesla supercharger is a device that will charge any all-electric luxury/performance Tesla vehicle in an hour — much, much faster than your standard trickle-chargers for more modest electric vehicles made by other manufacturers.

Affeldt also plans to install charging stations for those other cars, none of which match, as does Tesla, the high-end demographic of those who regularly patronize La Posada and its four-star Turquoise Room restaurant.
